MUR440S M6G

The MUR440S M6G rectifier is a 4-amp silicon rectifier that features ultra fast forward recovery times and low reverse leakage currents. This rectifier is widely used in applications such as DC to DC converters, power supplies, AC mains, solar power applications, and battery chargers. The MUR440S M6G is a single diode, which makes it ideal for applications that require high frequency operation with low power losses.

This rectifier has a maximum peak reverse voltage of 400 V and a maximum forward current of 4 A. It has a low forward voltage drop of 1.35 V at IF=3 A, making it ideal for applications such as power factor correction, power supply, and battery charging. The reverse leakage current is typically 5.0 uA at VR=400 V, making MUR440S M6G suitable for a wide range of applications. It has a maximum surge current capability of 30 A, making it suitable for use in fast power-up, short-circuits, and surge applications. The package options include DO-213AA and DO-204AL, which measure 0.8 x 0.9 x 0.3 inches and 0.3 x 0.4 x 0.175 inches respectively.

The MUR440S M6G is a special type of diode, known as a rectifier diode. A rectifier diode allows electrical current to pass through it in only one direction. The construction of the MUR440S M6G includes a cathode, which is the positive side of the diode, and an anode, which is the negative side of the diode. When a positive voltage is applied to the anode, the diode will switch on and allow electrical current to flow through the diode in one direction only. When the voltage is reversed and a negative voltage is applied to the anode, the diode becomes reverse-biased, and no electrical current will be able to flow through it.

The most common application of rectifier diodes is in power supplies and AC-DC converters. When a transformer is used to supply power, the diodes are arranged in a bridge configuration to convert the alternating current into direct current. Rectifier diodes are also used in voltage regulator circuits where one diode is used to provide a regulated output voltage. Rectifier diodes are widely used in RF components, photovoltaic solar cells, and other high-frequency applications. They are also used in surge protectors to limit electrical surges.

When using the MUR440S M6G in applications such as AC to DC converters, the current flows from the positive to the negative end at the anode. This current is then switched off at the cathode, and the reverse current is blocked by the diode. A bridge rectifier circuit is typically used to ensure that the current is supplied in both directions. This prevents any imbalance on the power supply and ensures that the voltage and current are maintained at their specified levels. The MUR440S M6G can handle up to a 30 A surge current, which makes it suitable for applications that require a large amount of current in surges.

The MUR440S M6G is a 4-amp rectifier with a maximum peak reverse voltage of 400 V. It is well suited for applications such as AC-DC converters, power factor correction, battery charge controllers, and DC to AC inverters due to its low on-state voltage drop and low recovery time. The package options for the diode are DO-213AA and DO-204AL, which make it suitable for a wide range of applications. MUR440S M6G is a single diode and hence, it can be used in high frequency applications without excessive power losses. The reverse leakage current is typically 5.0 uA at VR=400 V, which makes it suitable for a variety of applications.
